Loading Nails
Operating the Nailer
1. Attach the Nailer to the air supply at the Air Connector (not included) which is already
connected to the Air Inlet (33). See
FIGURE 1
. Start your compressor and make sure it is set
to between the recommended 60-115 PSI and not over the maximum 130 PSI.
2. To fire, place the nose of the Nailer on the workpiece. The Nailer should not fire if the nose
is not depressed. Once depressed, gently squeeze the Trigger (31) once. Do not fire repeat-
edly; nails could bounce off of one another causing injury.
3. To adjust the driven depth of the brads, use the pressure regulator on the compressor.
4. When finished with nailing, disconnect the tool from the air hose.
Clearing Jams
1. Disconnect tool from air hose. Always fire the trigger repeatedly to make sure all of the air
is expended from the Nailer.
2. If a nail is jammed in the discharge area, simply remove it with pliers.
3. If a nail is jammed in the magazine, while pushing on the Magazine Latch (39) with your
right thumb, push on the Heel Cushion (79)
with your left thumb, and pull back to open the
magazine. Remove all of the Brads. Snap the Heel Cushion (79) back into place. See
FIGURE 1
.
Warning! After disconnecting the Nailer from the compressor, there could still be enough
air pressure to fire the Nailer. Always fire the trigger repeatedly to make sure all the air
is expended.
1. While pushing on the Magazine Latch (39) with your right thumb, push on the Heel
Cushion (79) with your left thumb, and pull back to open the magazine. See
FIGURE 1
.
2. Insert the brads.
3. Snap the Heel Cushion (79) back into position.
Maintenance
Warning!
Always disconnect the tool from the air compressor and then empty the magazine
of nails before attempting to inspect or perform maintenance to the Nailer.
1. Inspect all of the nuts and screws and make sure they are securely fastened.
2. Periodically lubricate the driving mechanism and magazine with a light oil. Wipe down with
a clean cloth. Never use gasoline or flammable solvents to clean the tool.
3. Inspect your air compressor according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Warning!
If you detect any air leaks, power loss, the Nailer skips driving, drives too deep, or
not deep enough, take the Nailer to a qualified service technician.
Always disconnect the Brad Nailer from the air source before loading nails.
